I would suggest not ordering anything from Gurney's Nursery. My one
experience with them was quite unsatisfactory, and I have read many
testimonials from angry (ex-)customers. One particularly annoying behavior
at Gurney's, is their tendency to substitute merchandise without notifying,
or getting permission from, the customer. Thus, even if you order a Pixie
Crunch apple, you might not get it, but something that you don't want.
